Did you know that in many small villages around the world, the residents may not have running water, and yet they and their children have smart phones? YES! Countries believe that technology is the way to prosperity, and so even in poor areas large companies are building cell towers and selling cheap smart phones. It cannot be argued that the internet provides many wonderful things to these areas; however, the people must understand the proper use of it.
This curriculum is designed around three questions:
1. Who are We?
2. What is Happening to Us?
3. What are We Going to Do About It?
Never before in the history of civilization have the challenges been so great. Individuals, churches and families need to be prepared and informed about the possible dangers of the over-use of technology. This curriculum is user friendly and designed to be taught by pastors, seminary professors, small group leaders, tribal leaders, and anyone with a passion for following Christ in this ever evolving and changing technological world!
AROUND THE WORLD: Just completed online training! In days like these, our Technology and the Family training is in high demand and very much needed. The curriculum focuses on three questions: Who Are We? What is Happening to Us? And, What are We Going to Do About It? Technological advances and the internet create wonderful opportunities, but also many dangers. All of us need to be educated on the dangers of overuse of the internet and other digital communications. Our Regional Directors got together online with Faith Burnham and Dr. Vitaly Sorokun (Ukraine) to train on this material. They are ready, and already teaching it to those in their own countries — Dr. Joshua Nguyen (wife Linh) in Vietnam, Rev. Sonam Kabo (wife Rita) in Nepal, and Rev. Steve Mirpuri (wife Rose) in the Philippines. We are so thankful for these fabulous leaders for Christ with hearts of gold! Dr. Jonathan Burnham made an appearance too!
